    .Pardon my ignorance, but is it OK to advertise a couple of Rotax parts on this list? These parts will go on an engine that could power a Kolb............ Howard Shackleford FS II SC . . . -------- . . . .

    You didn't mention where you got the heavy wall tanks. BB. As far as advertising Rotax parts, I can't think of any reason to not do so, even if there was something to read on the list.

    Not at all. Because I still have some FSII parts to sell, especially a soft fabric and vinyl rear enclosure, and a right wing. A hub extension for an Ivoprop. And a bunch of stuff that basically needs to get out of the hangar. No reasonable offer refused!

    From: "Jimmy Young" <jdy100@comcast.net>
    Finally got a much needed full day of Kolb flying in on Saturday, literally the first decent WX weekend all spring. Had a great flight, the Firestar ran beautifully. There are a lot of bigger RV's, GA & Warbirds at this fly-in, but the Firestar seems to always draws a crowd. WX got a bit hot & windy on the flight back and took me 2.5 hrs to get home (about 110 miles). Climbed to 4800 agl & still was into 800 fpm thermals! Ended up dropping down to around 700' & just enjoyed the scenery all the way home. Flew a total of 5.7 hrs, just about as much as I've flown all year! Looking forward to more good weekends, -------- Jimmy Young Missouri City, TX Kolb FS II/HKS 700 Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=339265#339265 Attachments: http://forums.matronics.com//files/100_0002_139.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/f1012_n7043p_img_75134_166.jpg http://forums.matronics.com//files/100_0003_146.jpg

    I have the oil injection components [tank with brackets and pump] which was removed from a brand new 503 in 2000. Asking $120.00 firm. Also have 2 other pumps, age unknown, but appear to be lightly used. Asking $30.00 each. You pay freight. Howard Shackleford SC ===========================================================

    Richard, I will gladly remove the rear enclosure from your hanger! I guess I would bid $50 to start. I ordered the enclosure kit from Kolb, but it came without one.
